BASEBALL SPORTS OF ALL KINDS BOXING
Yesterday was a bad one for cham
pions in the woman's national golf
tournament at Onwentsia. Miss
Laurie Kaiser, Chicago champion;
Miss Lillian Hyde, Metropolitan title
holder, and Miss Elaine Rosenthal,
winner of the recent western cham
pionship, were all eliminated in hard
fought matches.
Mrs. C. H. Vanderbeck, winner of
the qualifying medal, continued her
march toward the finals, putting out
Miss Winters Coldham of Toledo in
easy fashion. Some of the best golf
of the day was played by Miss Alexa
Stirling, the 16-year-old Atlanta girl,
who defeated Miss Kaiser, 6 and 5.
Philadelphia has one representative
in the top and one in the bottom por
tion of the draw, and both are play
ing good golf. Mrs. W. A. Gavin,
England, is the sole foreigner left.
Conflicting stories are rife regard
ing the condition of the fighters in
New York's big battle Saturday night
The majority of critics declare that
McFarland seems in much better
shape than Mike Gibbons. Neverthe
less, there is a feeling of uncertainty
and a well-grounded belief that the
St Paul man has been stalling in his
preparation and will be fit to meet
the ex-lightweight star.
Gibbons is said to be slow and also
is timing his punches badly, having
a poor eye for distance. To those
who have seen the phantom in action
this sounds odd. His speed and abil
ity to punch deftly, have been his
main assets in a long and honorable
campaign against the best the game
could offer.
It is fair to assume that Gibbons
will be fit when he meets McFarland.
He knows he must be, and he does
not want to trifle with his luck. Both
men are said to be down to weight
and have reached the notch without
going through any Weakening pro
cesses. There will be no decision giv
en, according to the ruling of the box
ing commission,
